College Student Avoids Underage Consumption Conviction and Has All Records Sealed

A typical Friday night on the Ohio State campus turned into a scary situation for our 19 year old client when she was confronted by police. Like so many college kids do, she was enjoying a party with plenty of alcohol. Her drinking got carried away to the extent she found herself noticeably intoxicated walking home. Unfortunately, she stumbled across police who were very concerned for her safety. She ultimately cooperated with the police and was unfortunately charged with a 1st-degree misdemeanor of underage consumption.

Having the foresight to understand the impact the conviction would have on her future, she researched Columbus criminal attorneys to find an attorney she trusted to handle this important matter to her. Attorney Ben Luftman had an initial consultation with her and explained the nature of the charges against her and the benefits she would see by giving our firm the privilege to help her. Attorney Chase Mallory attended her arraignment in Franklin County Municipal Court and negotiated a dismissal of the charges. After the charges were dismissed, in order to fulfill her goal of keeping her record clean, we then had all of the records associated with the charges sealed.
